Cornell University hired Dr. Baker in 1957 as a professor and as a liaison to growers and marketers. His mission was to find ways to persuade people to eat more poultry, rather than viewing chickens as just egg-laying machines or Sunday luxuries. He took them to places no bird had been before, including the sausage department.

It was part of a fundamental transformation of the poultry business. It was after World War II that plucked chickens became generally available in supermarkets, and prepackaged chicken parts arrived only in the late 1960's. Now more than 40 percent of chicken sales involve processed meat, like patties and nuggets.Among the more than 50 chicken products that Dr. Baker and his team of technicians and graduate students developed were chicken baloney, chicken steak, chicken salami, chicken chili, chicken hash, chicken pastrami and chicken ham. He performed similar magic for turkeys and eggs, doing some of the earliest work on frozen omelets.

Part of the magic lay in extracting all the meat from the poultry carcass and reshaping it. In 1982, Forbes magazine credited Dr. Baker with having invented processed chicken in 1963.

I remember a lot of this stuff arriving. Anyone remember I Can't Believe They are Peas and I Can't Believe They are Carrots. They were frozen french fries with pureed vegetables mixed in with the potatoes.

We ate fish on Fridays and we kids didn't like smelly, real fish, so we got fish sticks and tartar sauce. Yummy.

My Mexican food joint is run by IRANIANS not EGYPTIANS. One of the waiters has taken a shine to me and in our conversations today he said the owners were Iranians.

So I guess now I have to refer to it as Iranican and not Egyptican tacos.

A lot of Iranian ex-pats and nationals around here refer to themselves as "Persian" to circumvent stereotyping and bigotry.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

pps: Northern Virginia has had Persian immigrants since the 1970's and there they have fabulously delicious kebab shops. I used to know a wealthy Persian family in McLean and stopped over at Thanksgiving and had the most incredible turkey glazed in pomegranate.

There is a McDonald's four blocks north of me, and a Popeyes one block further. I've only gone to that Popeyes once in 8 years and haven't been to the McD's in so long I can't recall when.

That's because there are 96 other food places closer to you,.. and then there is the cheese.I will stop on the way to my doc appointment at 5 Guys. (It's about 20 minutes drive but on my route)They haven't been here long but it was love at first bite.

I do like Five Guys and go -- there are two downtown, one of which is a block from my HIV doctor so after a blood draw I sometimes go. I never can eat all of their fries though.

me neither.when they first opened here (about 2 years ago) they offered 2 sizes of fries.the "small" was plenty for 2 people.now they offer 3 sizes and the small is STILL enough for 2. (not so sure that "The Wumps" would agree.)

There is a 5 Guys close to where I live but I've only been there a couple times. There's a sub restaurant around here that also serves their fries in paper bags, but I can't think of their name for some reason.

I almost bought some blood orange gelato a couple days ago, due to Ms P raging about it, but didn't. I bought some actual blood oranges a few weeks ago, they were alright. Seemed sweeter than regular oranges, or a different kind of sweet.

If you can find some Heirloom Navel Oranges grab a couple. I found some at Whole Foods about a week ago. They're a bit pricey at about $1 a piece but well worth it. the flavor is amazing. I normally turn my nose up at normal Navel oranges and go for a nice CaraCara but the Heirlooms are heavenly.

I like blood oranges too. Check out this purple meat Blood orange I had a year or so ago, beautiful meat but unfortunately it was rather bland..

This has produced a long forgotton childhood memory. The village that I was bought up in being 70 miles from London had a small community off London based artsy folk with weekend retreats. These families where a source off fascination to me and often there groceries where akin to jewels from the orient. So one summer day ,I guess I was around 6 , I was offered half an orange , I very politely took it to the Mother who supplied it explaining that it was off , as the colour was wrong. She replied with a , are not the local yokels charming laugh and said they where BLOOD oranges . I took a rather literal understanding off this and hid the orange to show local yokel Friends this incredable find . This led to an older boy explaining about vampires , three off us ate the by now battered and bruised orange cut with appropriate solemnity by the older boy and awaited our fate.

I like CaraCara also. They just opened up a Whole Foods here, I'll have to take a jaunt over there and see if I can find the Heirloom oranges. I don't mind paying a higher price for something that's worth it.

Have you made the dressing? Like put in some honey, things like that? Throw in some strawberries? It sounds good. I'm horrible when it comes to salad dressing. I'm not much of a fresh veggie person and like to drown the salad in bleu cheese; the thick chunky kind. I did actually buy some bleu cheese dressing the other day, made with yogurt. Haven't tried it yet but I hope it was worth the price.

Impressive Mitchell. How do you cut your pineapple? What kind of beer is that? Why do you still have a landline?

-W

1) I cut my pineapple with a knife. (would you like a more detailed description? we DO have a gadget that will peel and slice pineapples (in rings! .) that will most likely be used once and then be buried for eternity in your gadget drawer)

3) Landline?Yes! I love a landline!Talking on a cell to me is annoying.The delay in real time conversation is a quality downgrade. (at least for my fuzzy head)The smoothest conversations on the telephone are on a landline.
